Mountains on Kauai that offer many hiking trails.
Continue driving up from Waimea canyon to the end of the road and look down on the Na Pali coast 4000 feet below. There is a dirt track to the right of the official lookout which is worth a short walk to get better views down to the coast and back to Walaleale

"The Grand Canyon of the Pacific," Waimea Canyon is 10 miles long and 3,600 feet deep.
Beautiful sites that I think every person visiting Kauai needs to see... the highlight for us was going to the very highest lookout point at the end of the road at the top of the mountain. We looked out across the ocean and it took our breath away!

A historical state beach park with breathtaking views and landscape.
Yes, the dirt road is rutted, potholed, and can easily take 40-50 minutes to get to the beach. I had a Jeep Wrangler 4x4 and it didn't make the trip any faster, but I wasn't worried about bashing the undercarriage or stressing the shock absorbers. I personally think it would be foolish to try this ride with a regular car (think rain, mud, sand, hard-as-rock potholes, etc.) just make sure you've paid for the rental car insurance if you do. As far as the beach is concerned, it was worth every bone jarring bounce to get there and back. I was there on a beautiful sunny day, there were only a handful of other people for miles of gorgeous beach. Recommendation: bring a towel, umbrella, maybe a light weight chair, and lots of drinking water. Note: on my visit the bathrooms were closed. Although I wore a bathing suit I never gave any thought to going in the ocean. The surf was big and wild with a serious undertow. It was amazing to watch the huge waves roll in and then explode as they neared the beach. If you look to the North end of the beach you see the mountains frame the beach. If you look south you see miles of pristine beach and dunes, really quite stunning.

We are two middle-aged adults who did the Canyon Trail to atop Waipoo Falls, adding on the the cliff trail overlook. It was rated as a moderate hike on the park's website and I agree. We did not find it too physically challenging, but we did go slow. One does have to plan where to step so the "technical" aspect for me was more challenging than the endurance aspect. But that made it fun. I would suggest going early in the day to beat the crowds. I would also suggest checking the weather before going. I would not want to do this hike if it was wet. The views, especially the cliff trail overlook, are amazing!

Beautiful and fun and rewarding and so many beautiful stops along the way to get there! The clay can be slippery so wear good shoes like hiking boots or hiking sandals. It was rainy on and off and people had a difficult time who were just wearing tennis shoes. If you take kids, be careful close to the canyon!
